How much better is it, Mr. Mourdock, to think that God wants a woman to be forced to carry and give birth to the child of her rape, than to think that God wanted the rape in the first place? Why can you not understand that we DO know what you were saying and find it TOTALLY reprehensible?!?!?
And say you could get your way and place these restraints on women. What then? Would you force the woman to raise the child too?? If not, why not? You have already inflicted your sense of morals on her this far, why not go all the way? Or do you think it will be easy to find other parents for this child? Are there couples just lining up to adopt a child whose father was a rapist? From everything I know, most people do the best they can to adopt a superlative child, from the best background they can arrange/afford. Is this not so? So why would they take on the uncertain future of the child of a violent criminal?
Go back and talk to your God again. And keep on doing that til you get a different, more humane answer.
